Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa begin his Indian visit during which he will meet President Pranab Mukherjee, and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. This visit is expected to bridge the communication gap between the leaders of two nations while the fact remains that Sri Lanka and India have not been on the same side on many issues, especially after the fall of Tamil Tigers in May 2009. India wants substantial progress in reconciliation issues, especially the question of political rights of Tamils, ahead of Dr. Singh’s planned Sri Lankan visit.
India’s vote against Sri Lanka in the March session of the United Nations Human Rights Council is one of the reason for the differences between the nation. India decided to vote against Sri Lanka because it made promises in 2009 which it did not keep.
